people live longer today and so people should stay in the workforce longer. to what extent do you agree or disagree?

The life expectancy of human being has increased over recent years thanks to the advancements in health science. Some people think that people should continue to

work

longer. I completely disagree with

this

view, and believe that

this

trend will cause some problems

such

as youth

unemployment

and the loss of productivity.

First

of all, late

retirement

policy

can be harmful for a country. How can

this

policy

affect the country? The main issue is that the rates of

unemployment

rates among young graduates will increase unless early

retirement

is implemented by the

policy

makers.

For instance

, the figures for Turkey increased

last

year and youth

unemployment

has become a growing concern across

this

country.

Therefore

, implementing the late

retirement

policy

due to the increasing life expectancy would affect negatively the young section of the society

Secondly

, as age goes on, the productivity of people naturally decreases in a workplace. Those who

work

longer impact negatively the efficiency of a company or a factory because their body and mind

work

slower.

For instance

, many health experts say the human body is not a machine which can

work

during his or her lifetime with the same performance.

Thus

, people should enjoy

retirement

after a certain age

instead

of continuing working. In conclusion, people are able to live longer these days.

Thus

, a number of people believe that working longer is a necessity for those who live longer. I fully disagree with these views and I believe that

this

trend comes with some problems associated with the increase in

unemployment

rates among youngsters as well as the decrease in the level of productivity of older workers.
